Today, as I write, I have enjoyed an interesting mix of weather outside the window; rain, snow, sun, sleet, dark, sun, snow, rain. All day long it has been curious weather and all I keep thinking is - definitely spring in the Pacific Northwest.
So, just like that Pemco Ad with "socks and sandles guy" you gotta be ready for anything around here...or you'll never leave the house. And there is too much good stuff coming up to not get outside, especially since it is almost Farmers Market time in Gig Harbor.
I really lover our Farmers Market, which has come so very far since it began about a decade ago. And, according to market director Dale Schultz, this upcoming market season is going to be event better. Dale has spent the winter recruiting new farmers and new vendors including Gradwohl grass fed organic beef farmer and Last Bite Bakery as well as Ike's Fish and Seafood.
The Saturday Gig Harbor Farmers Market opens April 3rd at the new location on Kimball Drive. Take the Wollochet City Center exit off of Hwy 16 and follow the signs.
Thanks to a sponsorship by Columbia Bank, every Saturday the market will have live music including Billy Farmer, Steve Stefanowicz and Dave Calhoun - all local favorites.
The Farmers Market has a brand new website www.gigharborfarmersmarket.com and will also be selling new Farmers Market logo wear this year! It's all new and exciting for the Saturday market.
And additional good news, the Wednesday Green Market at Skansie Brothers Park is also expanding with more vendor, more activities and longer hours - open until 7pm. The Wednesday Green Market begins June 2nd. Stay tuned for more details on the Wednesday market coming to this Blog!
And see you on Saturday April 3rd for the opening of the Gig Harbor Farmers Market!!

Wishing you all the best as you get set to open the Gig Harbor Farmer's Market. All of us at PEMCO appreciate the mention of "socks and sandals guy" and we sincerely hope that you don't need to become a "blue tarp camper" on days of the sale.
